From our friends at Equal Rights Washington:
>READ>TAKE ACTION>FORWARD >
Join us in opposing discrimination against same-sex partners.
Pledge to Decline to Sign Referendum 71 today. It’s up to the rest of us to ensure opponents of Domestic Partnerships do not take Washington State two steps back on this critical civil rights issue.
Lawmakers took a huge step forward in protecting Washington families when they voted overwhelmingly to expand Washington’s domestic partnership law and gave registered partners all of the same rights as married couples under State law. Referendum 71 was filed to repeal the Domestic Partnership Expansion Law of 2009. If referendum backers are able to collect 120,000 signatures needed to put the referendum on the ballot, registered domestic partners could lose 250 legal protections in the November election.
Yes! I decline to Sign Referendum 71
Ask your friends, family, and co-workers to take the pledge also, in order to keep Washington’s Domestic Partnership Law.
Thank You!

Good slogan…and starting right up in a timely manner.
Good Luck Washington.
That’s a very good idea. It’s proactive and hits the christers where they’re most vulnerable. When these bigot groups begin to attack our rights we should put them on the spot and make sure they’re clearly identified as bigots.
Not concerned citizens, not advocates for religious freedom and etc., but bigots. In the same way that the KKK were bigots. And that also goes for their political and business supporters.
As soon as this is over, whatever the outcome, we need to press for full equality same sex marriage rights.
We should start hitting up Washingtonian Mormons–after all, their official line is that they’re for equal rights, so long as the word “marriage” isn’t attached, right?
